Treated Like ConYicts.

ANDERSON, Ky. Dec. 2S.-A gentleman whose veracity is above question, who un- expectedly visited the Children's Home, one mile southeast of this city, reports a dis graceful state of affairs. The children are treated moro like convicts than anything else. They are not allowed to play or have toys, are kept in rooms bare of a single or. nament, compelled to sit for hours in straight backed chairs, with folded arms, and are housed together like swine. Fur ther, the home building is one of the worst fire traps in the country. Should fire break out in the building after night a ter rible cremation ofihuman beings would be the result. An investigation will follow.

His Physician Says He May Live Through
 the Day.
 ALBANY, Dec. 23.-Throughout yesterday Mir. Manning, to the surprise of his physi clans, held tenaciously to life, and at II o'clock last night his physician said he will possibly five throughout to-day. Yesterday morning he was conscious and recognized and addressed his brother, John B. Man ming, who has just reached Albany. His family have been constantly at his bedside since Wednesday afternoon.
 His trouble is Bright's disease. It was . the bottom of his stroke in the treasury d. partment, and it is attributed by Dr. Hun, his physician, to blood poisoning, superin- duced by the bad sanitary condition of his office in the department The diagnosis of physicians at the time of the stroke showed Bright's disease. but the fact, for private reasons, was not made public.
 Since last Friday MT. Manning has been confined to his bed, and has known that death was close to him. He has been with out pain and has borne tine knowledge of his approaching end with cheerful Christian courage. Dr. J. Livingston Rusi, pastor of St. Paul's Episcopal church, of which MT. Manning has been a member for years, has been in constant attendance upon him, and the conversations have shown that MT. Man. ming is fully prepared. Since Tuesday his appetite has failed, and he now takes only temporary stimulants. .--.-.

Sold His Body for Whisky.

PALMYRA, N. Y., Dec. 23-While men were loading cars at the freight house at Victor Station, Seven miles south of this place, yesterday, they attempted to move a large barrel addressed to "John G. Hawks, No. 3o5 West Twenty-ninth street, New York" The head of the barrel in some way fell out, exposing to view the naked, head less body of an old man. Investigation proved it to be the body of Harrison Stamper, a drunkard of Williamson. He died on Tuesday morning, and his body was immediately claimed by J. M. Marshall, a young medical student who had purchased the body from Stamper himself, during his lifetime, for two gallons of whisky. He had cut off the head for personal study and shipped the body to a New York medical college.

Prominent New Jersey Manufacturer
 Leaves Town with the Doodle.
 HAcKErTsTowN, N. J., Dec. 23.-It was announced yesterday for the first time that William B. Cramer, the carriage manufac- turer, had absconded and was defaulter to large amount He was one of the best known business men in this part of the state, and has always been considered perfectly sound. His carriage establishment employed about forty hands, and was the largest one of it's kind in northern New Jersey. He was last seen in town on Tuesday night. It is sail that he took an early train for New York on Wednesday, and has not since been seen or heard from. He was executor of the estate of William Pool, and had about S3, 900 in cash belonging to the estate when he left. This will be @ total loss to the heirs, as there was no security. An execution was in the hands of the sheriff to collect debt due the estate, and it was thought that this was tho cause of his sudden departure.
 Yesterday his private office was broken open by officers and his papers found in great disorder. Everything of value had been removed, and there was every indica- tion that the move had long been contem- plated. On closer examination it was found that nearly all his manufactured stock had been turned into cash, often at heavy sac rifce, while most of his purchases had been on credit. The amount of his liabilities is not known, as the books cannot be found, but it is thought to be heavy. The local hardware dealers will be heavy losers. Among the heirs of the Pool estats are sev- eral infants, who will be left nearly desti- tute. Application will be made to the cham cellor to have receiver appointed at once. Cramer had held several town offices for @ number of years. He was twice member of the town council and once was mayor.

PADUcAH, Ky, Dec 23.-Isom Dalton, a farmer, was killed by an unknown assassin in remote portion of Caldwell county. Dalton was releated from jail only short time ago.

Threats were also made of lynching Dalton. A few nights ago he was called from his bed. He required his wife to carry light, and, taking gun. he opened the door and de- manded who wanted him. The reply was a shot, and Dalton fell with thirty-two buck shot in his side. He died instantly. There is no clew to the murderer, and no reward has Eeen offered for his capture.

DYNAMITE, DISASTER AND DEATH.
The Results Of Edward Johnson's Esperi-
 ment with 8 Deadly Explosive.


 ment with a Deadly Explosive.
 CINCINNATI. Dec. 23-What was r, ported to be boiler explosion at Dslhi yesterday proves, on further examination, to have been most destructive eruption of dynamite. On the Rapid Run pike, midway between Warsaw and Delhi, there stood O neat frame cottage occupied by Edward Johnson, a colored man, his wife and three children, two daughters and a son. To-day, where the cottage stood, is a mass of ruins and blackeped timbers, from among which hor- rified neighbors yesterday removed what at first was supposed to be the corpses of the i've members of the family. The bleeding bodies were lifted from the debris and taken co the nearest farmhouse, and doctors sum- moned. A nasty examination revealed that none of the five was killed. The two girls, one 13 and the other 4, were frightfully torn, and blood was pouring from dozen wounds. There was no hope for them. The lower limbs of both were broken, and in tine skull of each was a gaping hole, from which the brains oozed. The wife was a mass of burns and bruises. but will recover. The son was also terribly burned. and his body was oov- cred with contusons, lut none are of fatal character. Edward Johnson himself was shockingly torn, and there is little hop, of his recovery. Johnson rose at o'clock, built fire, and attempted to thaw out a number of dynamite cartridges, preparatory to blasting. He then started to arouse his family, when the explosion occurred, with the results above stated.

An Insane Seaman.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 2S.-The Bolivian bark Remijio, which has arrived in port from Hakodate, reports that last Thursday night Japanese who had the watch on deck suddenly became insane. All the crew were below, and at midnight he called them on deck, stationing himself at the door of the forecastle with a hatchet in his hand, and prepared to give a lively reception to who ever ventured above. The first who ap- peared, Japanese, was saluted with a blow upon the head. Next was a negro, who was also struck and dangerously wounded. The insane Japanese then jumped overheard and was seen no more. It was found also that the cook of the vessel had been almost killei prior to the assault upon the crew, and his recovery is doubtful.

Rumors of War.

LONDON, Dec. 23.--The rumors that come from Vienna, St. Petersburg and Berlin are vague and disquieting. The position which Prince Ferdinand has assumed, and the tenacity with which he clings to his princi- pality, tend to retard any progress toward a return to the former friendly feelings which existed between the great powers, and intensity the strained relations which already exist. There will be no clearing on the diplomatic horizon until this small, brt important, princeling takes himself, bag and baggage, out of Bulgaria. That he has not the slightest intention of doing SO is very apparent. and while his determination to keep what he has got may cause trouble in the near future, his attitude calls forth the admiration of those who admire pluck and nupnacitY.

A Veterans Death.

LANCASTER, Pa., Dec. 23. - Yesterday morning the body of Bricklayer Benjamin McCabe, whose home is at South Chester, was found under the bridge crossing Cones toga creek. Nobody saw him fall into the creek, but the supposition is that he was under the influence of liquor, and while crossing the bridge fell in. His head struck the rocks below, and his skull was fractured. His death resulted from the injuries received, and not from drowning. The de ead man was a member of the G. A. R. He leaves a widow and five children.
